I'm Afriad To Talk To Big Groups Of People Because Of My Flaws

I've developed this anxiety with big groups of people. I can't just start talking without thinking about what I would look like, or if people are looking at the side of my face. You see... I have braces to fix my big overbite because of tongue thrust (when the tongue pushes towards the teeth instead of the roof of the mouth), therefore the muscles of my mouth & the alignment of my jaw prevent me from closing my mouth properly (so at times i look like Napolean Dynamite, always with my mouth open :/  ) Once I force my mouth to close my chin dips in creating this ugly side image of myself that I hate. I used to put my hand on my chin to hide this which made me feel safe from rejection, but I knew I couldn't hide forever. In high school, I got made fun of by a popular guy, he made fun of my overbite and even made gestures which made me feel terrible! I've been afraid to speak confidently ever since. Why, I just feel that when I talk people look at my mouth alot.... I feel like when I talk, my mouth looks ugly so I avoid talking.

I also feel my nose is too big for my face. You would probably say its not as bad as i make it seem. Its not like I have a cucumber for a nose... I just feel that I would be a lot more confident if I got a nose job and fixed my mouth!
